GTP Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 This is a new tractor achieved with a Precision model. He have not dual tires beacause in France, we have not right to ride on the road with a too large tractor, unless we have a car in front with lights. This T9050 is the only T9000 imported in France by a farmer. I will make other tools later. I have a 6m Flexicoil seed drill. It's too small for this.

FNHIR Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Very good, I presume it's a Scale Models TJ bonnet on an STX Precision with T8040 wheels? Oh and you'll probably be told to put only six photos per post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 That's immense, I really like that a lot. As with many conversions it shows a missed oppurtunity by the model manufacturers. You have built a superb model. (please, 6 photos per post ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 That is an absolute beast of a tractor. Very impressive work as always GTP, looking forward to seeing it yoked up to some big cultivation equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 no offence but i was waiting to hear from the guy that actually built it, you well might be right but i would like to know for definate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 None taken Paul i am so taken with it, it will be my next convo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 i am so taken with it, it will be my next convo And the thing is, it's not actually all that complicated, breaking up an STX convo is probably the most (emotionally) difficult bit, Gerbent did one as well (http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=17603.0) and said that taking the bonnet off the Scale Models TJ is not that difficult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNHIR Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Yeah, that's why I was wondering about the Steiger 535 in this thread: http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=27509.msg567555#new The price of that has gone a way down, it could be a very good donor model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 yeah thats the one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTP Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Thank you for your comments, I'm happy you like this model. The bonnet come from the Precision model. I prefer it. He's changed because the original is flat on one side and the headlights are on high. To achieve this, it takes time because the pieces are rounded and difficult to achieve. I will change lights and add some details later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
